Teacher Shortage

There has been a stark decrease in the number of college students entering the field of education. The NJ Policy Perspective quotes that ten years ago 5,000 students were seeking education degrees. The number is now roughly 3,000.  Teacher shortages are severe in math, science, bilingual education and special education.   Little Silver remains as a competitive employer, however the effects of these shortages has certainly been felt.  Please refer to this page for updates about the teacher shortage, and legislation we can support as a community.
